APM: RDP persistence using windows username

Hi all

 

We have SSL VPN on our F5 APM. Logon is using combo of active directory creds and a safenet 2FA solution.

 

If I have an RDP session published to a webtop, can I (with iRule or whatever) load balance this to 2x RDP session hosts with the persistence configured by AD username? i.e. user MYDOMAIN\danj connects to APM, then he always ends up at RDP box 2, and never hits 1 unless 2 is down. (I appreciate maintaining this mapping might not be possible across restart of the BIG-IP box.)

 

This requirement is in place because the RDP boxes are effectively management workstations, and some of the installed client software relies on local config and temp files, so ideally the user should always hit the same box.

 

thanks

 

Dan
